What do you mean by "slightly wider at the D and E line of sight"? slawie Senior Member Username: slawie Post Number: 695 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 25, 2014 - 6:01 pm:    Dave, The neck laminates are say 0.5mm thick Where the (normally walnut) laminates run under the D and E strings on a 5 string I would like ebony laminates at 5mm thick. slawie davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 11571 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 - 1:56 pm:    Ah! wfmandmusic Intermediate Member Username: wfmandmusic Post Number: 132 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 - 5:14 pm:    Great dream!
